Matt and Kelsee met on Halloween night 2016 in Spokane, WA. Kelsee (dressed as Waldo) and her friends went out for a night on the town ending up at a local bar. The girls started talking with the guys sitting at the table next to them. Soon after, Matt showed up to meet his friends which happened to be at the same table. After a few good laughs, some fancy moves on the dance floor, and making sure they were each Seahawks fans, Kelsee and Matt hit it off! The "girls night out" quickly turned into the "Kelsee and Matt's night-out". Matt found Waldo and Waldo found love - the rest is history!
Matt brought Kelsee to his hometown in Alaska where they spent the week 4-wheeling, sitting around bonfires, and lots of salmon fishing. On the last day of the trip they explored the town of Homer with Matt and his family and rounded out the day with lunch overlooking the ocean. After ordering food, Matt asked Kelsee if she wanted to go for a walk. Her immediate reaction was to say no because they had just ordered food, but she went anyway. As they walked along the beach Matt got down on one knee to propose, all while his family watched from the restaurant (and everyone else eating lunch that day). Of course Kelsee said yes and they went back to the restaurant to celebrate with everyone! They ended the night camping on the beach - it was a trip both would never forget!
